Kuraray Poval™
Kuraray Poval™ is water-soluble, has specific colloidal characteristics, excellent film-forming properties, and high tensile strength. In addition, it is elastic and resistant to heat and organic solvents. Kuraray Poval™ flexibility is due to its chemical properties, especially the numerous hydroxyl groups that react with substances such as reactant resins.
